Master Cleanse, Exit Strategy

In the same way the salt water causes a complete "elimination" within 90 minutes, the exit strategy I used caused an eliminations every 90 minutes all night long.

Day 13, Snow Skiing

Lucky me I have a friend or two in the Rockies who occasionally come across a lift ticket or two they are willing to share. Dig it. 13 days into the Master Cleanse I was skiing my ass off and was told an ol' buddy would be in town for $2 Margaritas the size of a fish bowl and 1/2 price apps...man, can't beat a good snack and a drink...especially considering the company!!!

Good times, good times. Before the whole meal deal, I did make sure to check out my tongue...to my surprise, pink pink PINK...It was as pink as I've ever seen. Justified I was...let's CHOW DOWN! :)

SO I broke down...on arrival at the restaurant, I saw all the goodies already on the table with a Margarita with my name on it already on the table. I gobbled up some declicious snacks at the local Carlos Miguel's. Queso with pork sausage, chips and salsa, flautas, mexican crepes, tableside guacamole...all the goodies...I ate like a professional hot-dog champion...only to pay the real price later.

I came back the the house to rack out...only to find I woke up every 90 minutes (or less) to have and "elimination"...lucky for me, they installed a skylite right above the bathroom fixture so it made it easy to find my "depository". The fullish moon that night helped put the spotlight on the shrine. In all honesty, I was up almost every hour dropping another mexican style deposit...scared to death I was waking up the rest of the house.

In the end, I lost 20 pounds, the first 9 of which came off in the first 2 days..the other 11 in the next 11 days. I could have kept going, had it not been for the delicious food. I figured since I exercised my Ass off, I deserved the super deluxe treat. Had I not busted my ass, I likely would have left another 1/day behind. It's all good, exercise season is BACK!
